3.Friction ridge paths and the details in small areas of friction ridges are unique and never
repeated.
4.Overall, friction ridge patterns vary within limits, which allow for classification.
Anatomy of Fingerprints - ✔✔Friction skin is also called 'volar' skin
Seen in primates
Assists in ability to hold onto things, or have traction
Prominent in the study of volar skin development were Inez Whipple, Harris Wilder and Alfred
Hale,
